I was talking about about console gen as a whole.
@ the bolded part, it's simple. Wii is 7th gen and the wii u is 8th gen because it released after wii as a entirely different console. Devs supporting it with 3rd party games doesn't factor into this. What games from this gen get ported to the nx doesn't matter. The PS4 and PS3 have some the same games at the end of 7th gen but does that mean the PS4 is a 7th gen console? No. How does BC work with the xbox one? Is the xbox one 7th gen because it's BC with some of the xbox 360's games? No.
I think people like "console gens" to be convoluted as possible.

@ the bolded.
I already covered that in my post. I said that if 90%+ of a consoles games are from generation X, then it's a generation x console. Will 90% of PS4's games be 7th gen games at the end of the console generation? No, not even close. (Even if you want to define all cross generational games as 7th gen games, which is debatable depending on the game.)
As for BC, I covered that as well, when I said "new" games.
It's not as simple as a new console release = new collective generation. Because it is technically possible to release a new console and rejoin the current generation if you want to. Neo Geo did that for example, with both of their consoles belonging to the fourth generation. And Sony's intention with PS4 Neo is pretty clear. They could have redesigned the shell and slapped a 5 on it if they wanted to, but that's not their intention.

The PS4 Neo is a rumor at this point.
